The nations gold edition

• PlayOnLinux 4.1.2-dev
  • Tested with Wine 1.5.5
  • Install path Program Files/GOG.com/The Nations Gold/
  • Shortcuts:
    • Readme ["readme.txt" ]
    • Manual ["manual.pdf" ]
    • The Nations Gold ["gogwrap.exe" GOGNATIONSGOLD]
  • Running bin/game.exe instead seems to work just fine
• PlayOnLinux 4.2.2-dev
  • Tested with Wine 1.4.1
  • A bit slow
    • Better with Wine 1.5.15, maybe 1.5.x handle better 16bit DirectDraw HAL?
  • Wine 1.5.18, 1.5.20, 1.5.24, 1.5.27, 1.5.29: broken sound (harmonics)
  • Wine 1.5.15, 1.5.16, 1.5.17: sound ok

GOG installer v2

• PlayOnLinux 4.2.2-dev
  • Tested with Wine 1.5.15
  • complained about sdbinst.exe
  • Install path GOG Games/The Nations Gold/
  • Shortcuts:
    • The Nations Gold ["bin/game.exe" ]
    • Readme ["readme.txt" ]
    • Manual ["manual.pdf" ]
  • With or without /nogui, crashes at the end of installation. Same with 1.5.17
    • Has fixed itself, must have been some fluke with a driver or a library version
  • Installer works fine with 1.6.1, but game is significantly slower
  • 1.5.31: sound harmonics
